Parent Association News

Parent Association

Can you believe we're already nearly halfway through the school year?! It's not too late to join our Parents Association. We have many exciting fundraising opportunities on the horizon and would love to welcome new members and fresh ideas. No experience is needed—just a current Working with Children's Check. This is not a group where everyone is allocated a specific committee position, opportunities are shared via our WhatsApp group, and you can help out with whatever interests you/works time wise as we know how busy life can get! 

Disco Bingo tickets are now sold out!

Please email upweysouthpta@gmail.com if you would like to be added to the waitlist, should tickets become available. 

The lucky winner of The Royal FTG Hotel $50 voucher is Jessica C. 

Raffle tickets and silent auction items will be on sale from early Term Three, even if you can't make it on the night. 

Thank you for supporting the Parents Association and our major fundraising event of the year. 

Lastly, our weekly Breakfast Club held on a Friday morning is always on the lookout for volunteers! The aim of breakfast club is to promote social cohesion among the students as they share breakfast and conversations before class. It also provides children with a caring human connection and helps to ensure they have adequate nutrition for learning throughout the day. If you think this is something you would like to be a part of and can spare an hour or so on a Friday morning, please get in touch!

Thanks,

Parents Association - upweysouthpta@gmail.com
